Scene 1
|
The scene is set
in NYC at the manluv.com on-line cam one on one chat room
studios. (We’re on the internet folks). The stage is set with
three compartments (chat rooms) each with computer and digital
video "cam" and a young scantily clad model in each.
In station one
is Guy Wikie, who is naked dancing in front of the camera.
Max Ballard is in the second station. He wears a headset and
busily types on the keyboard. Robert Sprague - aka "Sprakie",
is in the last compartment and is laughing at the computer
screen.
There are 3 (4
if it can be managed) off stage cast members, who are "miked"
to take the lines of the "chat room" characters.
These characters have "screen names" which are used
during this scene. The only chat voice to be designated to
a principle player is "tdye" - who is Thomas Dye.
All the chat room typing is accompanied by an off-stage clicking-effect.

his sexy, naked dance all during this segment)

"So, are you saying
something?"

"No fair! You
can see me."
|
|
CUMDOGGY
Cumdoggy says, "Show
us more -"
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"Teasers. How
old Bonerman?"
(Bonerman signs-off"
|
|
Shit! He signed off.
I scared him away.
(Max gets up, bangs
on the wall)
(to Sprakie)
Never ask their age Sprakie, it scares ‘em away.
|
|
SPRAKIE
Fuck! I could have
told you that - you dumb ass newbie!
|
|
MAX
I’ll come over there
and kick your ass.
|
|
SPRAKIE
What’s Guy doing -
Awfully quiet over there.
|
|
MAX
I hear heavy breathing
- he’s earning it, girl - doing the jack-off supreme!
|
|
SPRAKIE
Go for it Guy!
|
|
GUY
(in ecstasy)
Shut your holes! You’ll make me blow this big spender’s dime.
He’s been on for 25 minutes - nearing the $200 mark - and I want
him again and again . . .
|
|
MAX
(laughing) and
again. . .
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing) "to Papuppy
- Are you still there?"
|
|
PAPUPPY
Here, dear. Are you
queer or what?
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing)
"I’m a Kinzie
6."
|
|
PAPUPPY
What the fuck’s that!
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing)
"Men only. I thought
you knew. What do you do?"

PAPUPPY
I do them all.
|

|
|
MONITOR

|
|
ASSPOUNDER
(with a french accent)
Asspounder say, bon soir Robert.
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing)
Good evening Asspounder.
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Missed anything?
|
|
PAPUPPY
To Asspounder from
Papuppy. "You missed an exciting show from Robert. He’s the
best"
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing)
"Thank you, Papuppy"
|
|
(Moaning sounds
come from Guy. Both Sprakie and Max laugh wth abandon.)
|
|
CUMDOGGY
Cumdoggy says, "Max,
what’s so funny?"
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"Just felt like
a laugh, Cumdoggy."
(he suddenly decides
to take his shirt off, slow and sexy)
|
|
CUMDOGGY
That’s it, Max. Wonderful.
Keep going.
|
|
MAX
He’s going for it.
Going . . . Going . . . he’s in!
(jumps with joy)
(typing) "Hey
Cumdoggy - we can fuck around with this keyboard or for an extra
charge - dial me at 1-876-manlove."
|
|
CUMDOGGY
Yes sir!
(Max’ phone rings.
He answers using his headset)
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Asspounder says, "Robert,
how long have you been In this room?"
|
|
SPRAKIE
(typing)
"About to sign-off,
Asspounder. Phillip will be strutting his stuff soon."
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Oo la la!
|
|
MAX
So Cumdoggy, do you
have a name?
|
|
CUMDOGGY
I do - but let’s not
waste time with that crap. Start taking it off.
|
|
MAX
Oooo. A real brute.
What do you want to see?
|
|
CUMDOGGY
Do you have toys?
(Max’s chat room
dims - and he begins to get naked and dances during this next
segment in semi-darkness. Meanwhile Guy has dressed and fishes
out the "Model is On Break" sign and places it in
front of the camera. He comes down stage and eats a sandwich).
|
|
PAPUPPY
Papuppy says, "Robert,
how much longer?"
|
|
SPRAKIE
Time’s up, Papuppy.
(typing) "See
you all tomorrow."
|
|
PAPUPPY
What time?
|
|
SPRAKIE
Check the fucking schedule
asshole!
(typing) "I
think I’m back at the same time sweetie. Have pleasant dreams."
(stands) And
don’t swallow any wooden dicks!
(He
switches the camera off)
Phillip enters
and goes center stage
|
|
MAX
Oh Cumdoggy! Wouldn’t
you like to be here in my . . . (moans)
|
|
PHIL
Wow Guy, he’s really
into it tonight!
|
|
GUY
Hi Phil. Want some
M&M’s.
(Phil declines
- he stoops down and kisses Guy - Guy is a bit dim)
(Sprakie comes
out of the chat room, sees Phil)
|
|
SPRAKIE
Well hon, it’s about
time you got your ass out of bed. Was he good-looking - but more
important, did he pay well?
(They hug and kiss
- Sprakie squeezes Phil’s ass).
Too much lard here?
A little more Gold’s Gym could be in order. Too many hours watching
Millionaire and wishin’ in one hand and jerking off in the other.
|
|
PHIL
It was a busy afternoon.
|
|
GUY
Oh, my break’s up.
(offers the rest
of his sandwich to Phil - who declines)
|
|
SPRAKIE
Guy, you’re always
eating and always tempting others. Get thee behind me Satan! I
hope those aren’t Max/ M&M’s.
|
|
GUY
(laughs) You’re
so funny Sprakie.
(he goes back into
his chat room, removes the sign and begins to type - his room
dims)
|
|
MAX
(heavy heated) Oh that’s
the way you like it Cumdoggy.
|
|
SPRAKIE
All these doggies.
The internet’s filled to the brime with dogs. I have a papuppy,
and didn’t you have a schlogdoggie or fido or something . .
|
|
PHIL
Hungbastard.
|
|
SPRAKIE
What does that have
to do with dogs?
|
|
PHIL
A bastard hound.
|
|
SPRAKIE
Fuck you. I’m too tired
for this! Come, Tell Sprakie what or who you did today. Come,
‘fess up.
|
|
PHIL
Actually, I took a
long steamy bath and curled up with a book.
|
|
SPRAKIE
A book! Listen to Lady
Chatterley here! Back copies of Advocate Personals or just some
hard rock candy stuff? A book. The last time I picked up a book
it was to call a florist, Jesus Marie - and that was to decorate
for a doctor.
|
|
PHIL
What ever happened
to Doctor Dick of Death!
|
|
SPRAKIE
Please - I still can’t
sit down. It was Doctor Brian McMoldau of the Gustave McMoldaus,
East Hampton’s finest. Well . . I thought I told you this, sis
- He was hung like a you-know-what, and rich as Margaret Truman
- but he had one flaw - a small flaw. (pause) He was as ugly as
a Goddamn monkey’s ass - and although he made it worth my while,
there definitely was no call for me to be the permenant houseboy.
So, when the Doctor was in, my eyes were shut else
I’d start laughing - and giggles would mean no supper - no little
spending money at Saks.
|
|
PHIL
(laughing) Did
you meet on-line?
|
|
SPRAKIE
Never date them (points
to the chat room) Be polite, get them in the One on One -
make fucking penpals out of them and they’ll come back and spend
hundreds. Take your commission and go.
|
|
PHIL
Sprakie, they’re not
all that bad.
|
|
SPRAKIE
I forgot - you’ve made
the rounds there. Well, tell me. Have you found the sugar daddy
of your dreams yet?
|
|
PHIL
No. But some of them
are interested in more than a one nighter.
|
|
SPRAKIE
That’s the problem.
Some of them are freaky with the love and romance. And . . . Oh,
I know who you’re tinking of. No, no - that one you keep telling
me about was not on tonight.
|
|
PHIL
Tdye.
|
|
SPRAKIE
Tdye - what kinda screen
name is that. I can live with Fuckmonger and Asspounder, but Tdye.
What’s that Tie Dye - like they did to pants before we were born.
|
|
PHIL
I believe it’s Thomas
- and he’s a writer - and he’s very gentle in One on One . . .
|
|
SPRAKIE
Jesus Marie, you’re
pathetique. Listen to me, I love you like my best set of luggage.
Don’t fall for that line. He’s probably an old Troll. Or he’s
a 10 year old kid using his father’s sign-on - or worse yet, he’s
a straight serial killer.
|
|
PHIL
(laughing) I
doubt that. You’re just jealous because your tricks turn out to
be losers.
|
|
SPRAKIE
They’re all losers
- If you spend money for sex . . . come on hon!
|
|
PHIL
Yeah, but look what
they get!
(poses - then points
to himself)
|
|
SPRAKIE
(poses) Remember,
I’m Saks - you’re J C Penney’s. But really - I worry about your
little romantic notions. It’s ok to make the cash - I taught you
well. But when you decide these dudes are worthy of more than
that, I caution you! Remember what happened to Jimmy . . .
|
|
PHIL
Jimmy was into heavy
drugs, man. And I think he was out of control. He’d go with anything
that walked.
|
|
SPRAKIE
Or crawled. He’d fuck
a knot hole and worry about payment later!
(Moaning comes
from Guy’s chat room. Phil and Sprakie turn in that direction)
|
|
Dumb-ass Boy’s making
the bucks tonight. He doesn’t need any words of wisdom from Mama
here. I think the dumber they are the more natural common sense
comes to them in these matters. But, Jimmy . . .
|
|
PHIL
It’s time for work.
|
|
SPRAKIE
Be home on time. And
. . . call me later.
(pause)
You listening? I don’t
want to pick up a paper and see you sprawled across some Goddamn
fence in the middle of Wyoming. I love your sorry ass - and worry
about these romantic notions you get.
(Phil starts into
his chat room)
Call me later - promise
me.
(pause)
Hey!
|
|
PHIL
I promise.
|
|
SPRAKIE
And give my regards
to all those boyz out there in the dark - Sprakie’s ready for
his close up Mr. Bill Gates
(exits like Norma
Desmond)
|
|
(The lights come
up in all three chat rooms. Phil turns the camera on and strips
to shorts and tee shirt. Max has finished his One on One and
is dressed now, sitting by the keyboard. Guy is dancing naked
in front of the monitor.)
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"I’m back boyz
and available!"
|
|
FUNPUD
Funpud says "Max
that was hot."
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"Thanks, Funpud!
Like what you see in the small box, come have me full screen."
|
|
FUNPUD
How’s your cold?
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"Oh you sweetie.
You remembered. Took lots of crap and its gone. "
|
|
PRISSYQUEEN
Prissyqueen says, "Back
in the saddle hon!"
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"U bet, Prissyqueen!
Riding those horses."
|
|
MONITOR1
Monitor 1 says, "Max
can be yours by pressing the One on One button. He’ll do anything
you want."
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Asspounder says, bon
soir Phillippe!
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"Hi Asspounder.
How’s it going?"
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Fine here in Montreal
- cold. Come up and warm me up. How’s your French.
|
|
PHIL
(laughing) (typing)
French is fine! And
so’s my Greek!
|
|
PRISSYQUEEN
Prissyqueen says, "Max,
my lad! How long’s your shift."
|
|
MAX
(typing)
"Prissyqueen,
I don’t know - how long’s yours?"
|
|
PRISSYQUEEN
(laughs) Long,
longing and ready. You bad boy.
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Asspounder says, "You
look so luscious tonite, mon Phillippe!"
|
|
PHIL
(who sees Tdye
come on-line - typing)
"Evening, Tdye."
|
|
|
TDYE
(TOM)
Tdye says "Ah
sweetheart. How are you tonite?"
|
|
ASSPOUNDER
Well Phillippe, are
you ignoring me? You look so luscious tonite.
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"Sorry, Asspounder
- thanks for the compliment!"
|
|
TDYE
Tdye says "Phil,
Can we talk?"
|
|
PHIL
Talk. O yes, I want
to talk to you. And I’d better do it fast, ‘cause Asspounder’s
horny tonight and he’ll beat all to the "button."
(typing)
"Tdye - we could
talk."
|
|
TDYE
Private chat.
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"We could, but
. . ."
|
|
TDYE
I know where the "button"
is. I’m coming.
|
|
PHIL
O yes. O yes. Press
it. Press it. He’s in!
(lights dim in
the other 2 chat rooms)
(typing)
"Tom. You’re in."
|
|
TDYE
Tdye says "Good.
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed our little session 2 days
ago. "
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"Well, you better
start commanding me now - as this is costing you a fortune."
|
|
TDYE
No discounts?
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"Tempting."
|
|
TDYE
Well I just want to
talk.
|
|
PHIL
(typing)
"Talk or not,
I’m getting naked for you."
|
|
(Phil quickly strips
and sits back down at the keyboard)
(typing)
"Now, I want you
to call me - but use the special number"
(typing).
(He puts the headset
on - after a minute the phone rings)
|
|
Hello - Tom
|
|
TOM
Well, well there’s
a voice of an angel in that sweetheart’s body.
|
|
PHIL
I’m blushing - and
you can see it. Wait.
(Phil presses a
few keys - and the enter key with bravado)
Since we’re just talking,
I went on a break - You can still see me, but all the others can’t.
And the meter’s not running.
|
|
TOM
Can you do that? Won’t
you get in trouble? I don’t want to cause you any problem.
|
|
PHIL
No problem. I’m their
star attraction. Losing me would be like closing the place down.
|
|
TOM
I am greatly honored.
|
|
PHIL
Well, not so fast.
I can’t be on here like this forever. So, I have a question for
you?
|
|
TOM
Shoot!
|
|
PHIL
We’ve been chatting
for 2 weeks. And you’ve seen every part of me.
|
|
TOM
Mmmm, and how.
|
|
PHIL
And you seem to like
what you see.
|
|
TOM
I’m here, am I not?
|
|
PHIL
Am I not? (laughs)
I love the way you speak professor. You know I love
to read good stuff.
|
|
TOM
So you’ve said.
|
|
PHIL
I mean like, Moby
Dick
|
|
TOM
How appropriate.
|
|
PHIL
Bitch! I’m serious.
I’ve seen the movie and thought it really . . . really . .
|
|
TOM
Wet?
|
|
PHIL
Shut up! Compelling.
But then I picked up the book. I said to myself, who the fuck
could get through this big motherfucker . . .
|
|
TOM
(laughs)
|
|
PHIL
What are you laughing
at? You’re not one of these snobby assholes who find me amusing
because I am exploring a brave new world!
|
|
TOM
Brave New World?
No, I just have never heard Moby Dick referred to as a
Mother-fucker.
|
|
PHIL
Oh! Well, that’s OK.
I started reading it and it’s transformed me. The words are like
little paintings - I can’t tell you - much better than the movie.
(pause)
|
|
TOM
You know, Melville
was gay?
(pause)
You know, the mother-fucker
who wrote the book.
|
|
PHIL
Are you making fun
of me?
|
|
TOM
Not fun of you - enjoying
the exhuberance of your youth. It’s infectious.
|
|
PHIL
That’s nice.
|
|
TOM
Have you ever seen
a whale?
|
|
PHIL
Like in the flesh?
|
|
TOM
Like in the aquarium?
|
|
PHIL
In books only. Have
you?
|
|
TOM
Yes, at sea.
|
|
PHIL
That’s wonderful. I
would love that. Where can you do that?
|
|
Tom
|
At Sea!
(pause)
Actually at Provincetown
- they have whale-watching excursions.
|
|
PHIL
At P’Town. I’ve never
been. Love to go. They say the boyz are hot there and it’s wonderfully
gay.
|
|
TOM
And now another reason!
PLUS they have some great new plays performed there. Have you
been to the theatre?
|
|
PHIL
Drags and such.
|
|
TOM
Ah! I would like to
be with you when you see your first live theatrical performance.
|
|
PHIL
You would?
|
|
TOM
I would! But you know,
you never asked me the question you wanted to ask me.
|
|
PHIL
Oh yeah. How old are
you?
(pause)
|
|
TOM
48
(pause)
|
|
PHIL
That’s not that old
|
|
TOM
Who said it was?
|
|
PHIL
No one.
|
|
TOM
I mean, I have friends
who are still alive at 54.
|
|
PHIL
Oh I didn’t mean .
. .
|
|
TOM
Don’t worry - I know
you’re a tad younger than me.
|
|
PHIL
A Tad. When you were
my age, I wasn’t even born yet!
|
|
TOM
Now it’s my turn.
(pause)
Bitch!
|
|
PHIL
And are you like old
and wrinkly - walk with a gimp and have a hunchback!
(pause)
|
|
TOM
Actually, I’m in a
wheel chair - and lost a testicle in Vietnam.
(pause)
|
|
PHIL
I’m sorry.
|
|
TOM
(laughs)
|
|
PHIL
You bitch! How could
I know?
|
|
TOM
Let’s not make assumptions.
If you want to know what I look like - I could email you a picture
- a jpeg . . . .or . . . .
|
|
PHIL
That would be nice
- maybe a naked one ---- but we could like . . .
|
|
TOM
Like what?
|
|
PHIL
Meet somewhere
|
|
TOM
That would be fine
with me. You won’t mind my seeing-eye dog?
|
|
PHIL
Cut it out! I need
to get back to work. So, do you know where The Imperial Coffee
Mug is in the East Village?
|
|
TOM
Know it well. What
day?
(pause)
|
|
PHIL
Tonight?
|
|
TOM
Great!
|
|
PHIL
I’m off at 9.
|
|
TOM
Come as you are. (laughs)
I’ll see you then.
|
|
PHIL
See you then
|
|
TOM
Yes, my sweetheart.
|
|
PHIL
Bye
|
|
TOM
Bye
(hangs up) (click)
|
|
PHIL
Yes! Yes, yes, yes!!
(Max comes out
for his break)
|
|
|
